Definitions

  • the present invention relates to ophthalmic surgical systems.
  • Cataract extraction is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures in the world with estimated 2.5 million cases performed annually in the United States and 9.1 million cases worldwide in 2000. This was expected to increase to approximately 13.3 million estimated global cases in 2006.
  • This market is composed of various segments including intraocular lenses for implantation, viscoelastic polymers to facilitate surgical maneuvers, disposable instrumentation including ultrasonic phacoemulsification tips, tubing, and various knives and forceps.
  • Modem cataract surgery is typically performed using a technique termed phacoemulsification in which an ultrasonic tip with an associated water stream for cooling purposes is used to sculpt the relatively hard nucleus of the lens after performance of an opening in the anterior lens capsule termed anterior capsulotomy or more recently capsulorhexis.
  • a synthetic foldable intraocular lens (IOLs) is inserted into the eye through a small incision.
  • cataract patients are astigmatic. Astigmatism can occur when the cornea has a different curvature one direction than the other. IOLs are not presently used to correct beyond 5D of astigmatism, even though many patients have more severe aberrations. Correcting it further often involves making the corneal shape more spherical, or at least more radially symmetrical. There have been numerous approaches, including Comeaplasty, Astigmatic Keratotomy (AK), Corneal Relaxing Incisions (CRT), and Limbal Relaxing Incisions (LRI). All are done using manual, mechanical incisions. Presently, astigmatism cannot easily or predictably be corrected fully using standard techniques and approaches.
  • WO 93/08877 relates to a laser based method and apparatus for corneal surgery. It is intended to be applied primarily to ablate organic material, in human cornea in particular.
  • the invention uses a laser source which has the characteristics of providing a shallow ablation depth and a low ablation energy density threshold to achieve optically smooth ablated corneal surfaces.
  • WO 2006/074469 divulges a scanning system for incising tissue in an eye comprising an ultrafast laser source, an optical coherence tomography device, a scanner and a controller.
  • Rapid and precise opening formation in the cornea and/or limbus are possible using a scanning system that implements patterned laser cutting.
  • the patterned laser cutting improves accuracy and precision, while decreasing procedure time.
  • a scanning system for treating target tissue in a patient's eye includes a light source for generating a light beam, a scanner for deflecting the light beam to form first and second treatment patterns of the light beam under the control of a controller, and a delivery system for delivering the first treatment pattern to the target tissue to form a cataract incision therein that provides access to an eye chamber of the patient's eye.
  • the delivery system is also for delivering the second treatment pattern to the target tissue to form a relaxation incision along or near limbus tissue or along corneal tissue anterior to the limbus tissue of the patient's eye to reduce astigmatism thereof.
  • the techniques and systems disclosed herein provide many advantages over the current standard of care. Specifically, rapid and precise openings in the cornea and/or limbus are formed using 3-dimensional patterned laser cutting. The accuracy and precision of the incisions are improved over traditional methods, while the duration of the procedure and the risk associated with creating incisions are both reduced.
  • the present invention can utilize anatomical and optical characterization and feedback to perform astigmatic keratotomy such as limbal and corneal relaxing incisions in conjunction with the creation of surgical incision that provides the surgeon access to the anterior chamber of an eye. The surgical incision may be made completely, or partially, depending upon the clinical situation.
  • a wavefront sensor, interferometer, surface profiler, or other such device may be used to yield prescriptions for correcting the astigmatism or other visual aberrations.
  • these same devices may be used to verify the surgical correction of the patterned scanning system, even adjusting it during the treatment procedure to produce the desired outcome.
  • the present invention may be used in multiple sessions to coordinate the healing of the astigmatic correction, and drive the corrective treatment over the course of the wound healing process.
  • the present invention also provides for the image guided alignment of the incision.
  • the incisions enable greater precision or modifications to conventional ophthalmic procedures as well as enable new procedures.
  • the incision is not limited only to circular shapes but may be any shape that is conducive to healing or follow on procedures. These incisions might be placed such that they are able to seal spontaneously; or with autologous or synthetic tissue glue, photochemical bonding agent, or other such method.
  • the present invention provides for the automated generation of incision patterns for optimal effect.
  • Another procedure enabled by the techniques described herein provides for the controlled formation of an incision or pattern of incisions.
  • Conventional techniques are confined to areas accessible from outside the eye using mechanical cutting instruments and thus can only create incisions from anterior to posterior segments of tissue.
  • the controllable, patterned laser techniques described herein may be used to create an incision in virtually any position and in virtually any shape. Matching incisions may be made in both the anterior and posterior sections. The present invention is uniquely suited to perform such matching incisions.
  • these incisions may be tailored to complement an asymmetric IOL that is being inserted as part of the procedure or has been previously inserted.
  • the present invention enables the measurement of the IOL placement and subsequent automated calculation and generation of these complimentary corneal or limbus incisions.
  • the controllable, patterned laser techniques described herein have available and/or utilize precise lens measurement and other dimensional information that allows the incision or opening formation while minimizing impact on surrounding tissue.
  • the present invention can be implemented by a system that projects or scans an optical beam into a patient's eye 68, such as system 2 shown in Figure 1 which includes an ultrafast (UF) light source 4 (e.g. a femtosecond laser).
  • a beam may be scanned in a patient's eye in three dimensions: X, Y, Z.

The goal is to reduce cylindrical optical power and to absolutely avoid overcorrecting with-the-rule astigmatism, because against-the-rule astigmatism should be minimized.
  • Relaxing incisions formed in the sclera, limbus, or cornea are generally used for cases of with-the-rule astigmatism and low against-the-rule astigmatism.
  • the LRI When using the relaxing incision in conjunction with against-the-rule astigmatism, the LRI can be moved slightly into the cornea, or, alternatively, the LRI could be placed opposite another relaxing incision in the sclera, limbus or cornea.
  • the relaxing incision is made temporally, and the LRIs are placed at the steep axis.
  • the placement of the LRI should be customized to the topography of the cornea.
  • the LRI in the steepest axis can be elongated slightly and then shortened the same amount in the flatter of the 2 steep axes. Paired LRIs do not have to be made in the same meridian.
  • RI 420 can be made from the inside out and thus better preserve the structural integrity of the tissue and limit the risk of tearing and infection.
  • the cataract incision 402 and the relaxation incision(s) 420 can be made automatically using the imaging and scanning features of system 2.
  • a pair of treatment patterns can be generated that forms incisions 402 and 420, thus providing more accurate control over the absolute and relative positioning of these incisions.
  • the pair of treatment patterns can be applied sequentially, or simultaneously (i.e. the pair of treatment patterns can be combined into a single treatment pattern that forms both types of incisions).
  • an aiming beam and/or pattern from system 2 can be first projected onto the target tissue with visible light indicating where the treatment pattern(s) will be projected. This allows the surgeon to adjust and confirm the size, location and shape of the treatment pattern(s) before their actual application. Thereafter, the two or three dimensional treatment pattern(s) can be rapidly applied to the target tissue using the scanning capabilities of system 2.
  • FIG. 8 A cross-sectional view of an alternate geometry for cataract incision 402 is shown to have a bevel feature 430. Bevel feature 430 may be useful for wound healing, sealing, or locking. Such 3-dimensional cataract incisions 402 can be achieved accurately and quickly utilizing the 3-dimensional scanning ability of system 2. Although a beveled incision is shown, many such geometries are enabled using the present invention, and within its scope. As before, the incision 402 is shown in cornea 406, but could be alternately placed in limbus 408 or sclera 410.
  • a specialized contact lens can be used for large fields as when incisions are made in the outer most regions such as the limbus or sclera.
  • This contact lens could be in the form of a gonioscopic mirror or lens.
  • the lens does not need to be diametrically symmetric. Just one portion of the lens can be extended to reach the outer regions of the eye such as the limbus 408 and sclera 410. Any targeted location can be reached by the proper rotation of the specialized lens.
